The weather has warmed up again. I went to Raceway and had a great ride—the temperature was in the mid 80s.

Ann and I went to the LITH Theater to watch Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. I didn’t watch the series but I have now seen both movies. While I did have a nice sleep through some of it, this second one was better than the first.

I read directions for the powdered grub killer and I don’t want to deal with those very bad warnings about getting it on your skin and in your eyes. I contacted TruGreen and they will now be taking care of the grubs (I pulled up a large section of a dead patch and literally saw one of the grubs) and fertilizing. They are coming within the next 5 days to get started. We’ll see how it goes.

My pants button fell off and I sewed it back on.

The 24th anniversary of that unbelievable day. The weather today was much like that day, sunny and pleasant. I was in my office at Motorola when Ann called—my first thought was a Cessna with an issue—that was quickly replaced.

Charlie Kirk was shot today. Technically, I found out on September 11th when Ann told me. I really don’t know what this means except that it is not good.

This NFL opening weekend the Packers played well and won against the Detroit Lions.

I did 100 push-ups (inclined), 100 sit-ups, 100 squats (no weight), and 100 shoulder presses (light weight).
Normally, I only bike or hike but I want to expand. I am starting slow and broke it up with 10 sets of 10. I set a timer on my phone for the top of every hour. It was easy to do but very surprising how the time can fly—if I would not have set the alarm, I would have missed a lot of “top of the hours.” I hope to keep this going!

Went to Krystal Thai for lunch today.

The weather was colder today so I went to the gym for the first time since summer began.
Another note is that the NFL season starts today, Dallas vs Eagles.

The first day of the fall semester at UW-Madison.

Had a very good ride at Raceway after work—another perfect temperature day.

The actual Labor Day. Ordered DuoCide grub killer and a sprinkler. Found out the dead patches of grass are due to grubs—can’t be ignored.

Enjoying the Labor Day weekend with a great ride at Raceway. The trails are in great shape and the weather was perfect!

Fantasy Football draft day for a League I recently joined.

Picked up a thoughtful Birthday card and sent it out—snail mail—means much more than a text.
